One of Rob Ford’s campaign volunteers has been charged with assaulting a weird protester

The details aren’t totally clear, but the Sun reports that William Byers, a 60-year-old Rob Ford campaign volunteer, has been charged with one count each of assault, mischief and theft after a scuffle with a guy in an oversized rubber Ford mask at Ford’s Scarborough campaign office on Wednesday afternoon. The masked man, Paul Benoit of Oakville, evidently walked into the office holding a camera. In a video presumably captured by that camera, he can be heard saying: “So, now it’s time to have some real fun. We’re going to walk into Rob Ford’s office, and, uh, we’re just going to see what everyone has to say about voting for ‘me.'” The shit-disturbing experiment ends all of ten seconds later when a campaign worker (presumably Byers) physically hauls Benoit back out the door. At the end of the clip, the camera seems to hit pavement.
